Motherboard Dead?

Could overclocking my graphics card make my motherboard go bad? I was overclocking the card an the system froze so I tried to reboot but the computer won't boot up at all. I tried using a different graphics card in a pci slot, old one was agp. I tried booting with just mobo,memory and graphics card hooked up with same results. The computer turns on an everything, all the lights in the front and the fans on the inside. The graphics card and everything else works in another computer. The only thing I could not test is my memory cause it's ddr an my other computer don't use that kind. I cleared the cmos also with jumper an taking the battery out. Not sure what else I can do? The last time my memory went bad though the computer beeped to let me know, so I'm not sure if it's the memory or not..

Old nVida AGP cards used on AMD processor boards were known to over heat and damage the driver chip on the system boards. So sure, it happens a lot. No beep with no memory, usually means either the board or the processor itself is damaged. If the processor is not getting warm, then it is not running or getting power. It could be the power supply. But most likely the system board. Very hard to tell which one. Replacement boards for older systems are hard to find and can be a bit expensive.
